So your children have done you proud and are spread out over the country doing their own thing… they’ve asked you to move in with them but you’re reluctant. You love them but you also love your independence. Experts advise that you follow your instinct; you’ll be happier and healthier. But living alone in your autumn years comes with its own set of problems: reliable medical help has to be close at hand; prompt and dependable domestic services must be ensured; entertainment options should be available and near at hand.
Break out of age-old taboos and consider investing in luxury retirement townships. These townships take care of all your daily needs, leaving you to engage in activities you’re interested in and perhaps never had time to pursue. This is nothing like the old-age “homes” of yesteryear, that were the squalid, poorly serviced, last resort for the elderly who had no other options. Luxury retirement townships are self contained community dwellings especially made for those above 55. They take care of all your basic needs and have hospitals with geriatric care, recreational centers, programs and events on location. While you will need to check what facility best works for you, the basic idea is to be a part of flourishing community that grows into a support system.
